Remembering My Roots Through Food, Culture and Language

This story of a Jewish child growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts, was first written for the author’s kids and grandkids. Here she tells of her parents coming to America from the Ukraine in 1922, the family hardships during the Great Depression and the impact of World War II as they experienced these events. This book is an historic tale of Jewish culture, Yiddish humor, love and food (recipes included), and how food bonded families together during the 1930s-1950s. Interwoven throughout the book are issues of social justice and equality in our world today. For one who wants a personal and entertaining look into the lives and experiences of a Jewish immigrant family in the middle half of the twentieth century, this book is a great read!
